Thankful for my friend....

My friend Lynda of Another Sassy Product has been my saving grace lately - her daughter was at camp this week - and I had the opportunity to be able to get out of my house and go play with Lynda. I have been cooped up sooo long at my house being sick that I just wanted to be able to get out of my house during the day. We ran errands (you know it is sad when I have been at home so long that running errands sounds like fun) lunched, played, and actually were productive. I helped her make buttons - which has become a new addiction.

Luckily when Allison comes home from camp - Lynda said I still can come hang out :) And we are already planning "work" days - I can bring my work over to her house and we can be productive together.

I am just glad I have someone that lets me come over pretty much in pjs, no shower and just takes me as I am.

Thanks Lynda - I sure do love you and appreciate you.

And on my sicky note - I am sure as hell trying to get better....taking it day by day and just trying to get my anxiety under control. Thanks everyone for your awesome words of encouragement. I appreciate you!

I LOVE YOU BUNCHES AND BUNCHES!

Bout's and Bridal Bouquet Cuffs

So remember when I made the wedding invitations for my friend Jenn a few months ago? - here is a pic to remind you:

I was lucky enough to work with Jenn on her boutonnieres and a cuff for her bridal bouquet. So here is what I came up with and tonight I get to go to the wedding and see them in person! I was really happy with how they turned out - and even better Jenn was!! Which is all that matters! So hopefully I will make more of these for others...Just wanted to share that I have actually done some work around here :)

On the Mend

I almost hate to say it because I don't want to jinx it...but I think I am on the mend....yesterday was the first day I have felt like myself in WEEKS! So thanks everyone for the good thoughts - I hope this keeps up!

Just wanted to let my friends in the blog world know the latest!

Still here....still yucky

Yes - in case you have been missing me - I am still yucky.

I think I am causing a lot of it by my anxiety - and I trying to get that under control...

just wanted to check in and let everyone know I am here....just not myself

thanks for checking on me..

Chattanooga Artists Reserve

So finally I will post about Chattanooga Artists Reserve. I believe we had a fabulous turnout for the 1st time ever. Beth & I were very excited about the turnout - the set up and just the overall feeling we had this day.

Everything went well - besides a crazy rainstorm at around 5 o'clock. Nothing got hurt - thank God - and I believe everyone enjoyed themselves.

Looking forward to the next one - which we hope to do in a public places so we can invite WAY more people.

Thanks to everyone who came and to all the artists that participated - and to Beth & Rich for allowing us to take over your home!!! Until next time...XOXO

Here are a few photos - and a link to the photo album here.
